The moment the rumored signal flare took off, the ground in Moscow suddenly shook! Then, the deafening roar of artillery sounded.

It was not yet bright at this time, but countless streams of fire were seen piercing the night sky with deadly streams of light and rushing towards the city of Moscow.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The overwhelming explosion resounded throughout the entire city of Moscow, and countless houses, fortifications and city walls were destroyed by the explosion.

At this time, the German train artillery more than 40 kilometers away from Moscow also began to bombard the planned buildings in Moscow.

The train gun was so huge that it had to wait nearly fifteen minutes between each firing before it could load and prepare the next shell. But it was all worth it, because the German train gun hit the target every time.

Caused huge damage to the intended target.

Even if they are hit by train artillery, these buildings will be completely destroyed.

When the gunfire sounded, all the Allied troops in Moscow, except for a few observation posts, retreated into air-raid shelters to take shelter.

Based on their judgment of the defense situation in Moscow, the German commanders Fedor von Bock and Karl Rudolf Gerd von Rundstedt chose to use all heavy artillery in the hope that most of the Soviet fortifications could be destroyed

destroy.

In some respects, their goal was achieved. Under the fierce bombardment, large areas of the houses built as fortifications in Moscow were destroyed.

The violent explosion and shock wave destroyed the houses near the impact point of the shell.

The worst thing was the several gathering points that were bombarded by train artillery. The houses in those two places were razed to the ground almost instantly. Even the cellars under the houses and the exits connecting the air raid shelters were destroyed.

"Quick! Calculate the location of the German artillery quickly..." The Allied artillery troops were currently calculating the location of the German artillery positions. The artillery staff were constantly calculating the coordinates of the German artillery positions based on the impact point of the explosion.

But this kind of thing obviously cannot be done in a short time. The German army lost part of its artillery at the beginning of the war, and then they began to be cautious about the use of artillery.

Similarly, at the beginning of the campaign, the Allies also suffered the loss of artillery positions being bombarded due to ballistic calculations by the Germans. Therefore, they have always maintained restraint in the use of artillery.

"Area No. 4, 100 meters west of direction No. 3 - 300 meters far away!..."

"Axis No. 6, eastward 0-90. Nearly 40, depression, enemy 155mm heavy artillery position!..."

One by one, the indicators began to be collected from the staff, and finally a report was quickly formed and handed over to the position commander. After careful calculation, the Allies finally arrived at the location of the German artillery position.

.

"Coordinates: x 78123, y45678, German artillery position! Rapid fire, two rounds! Fire!" The Allied artillery commander quickly issued the combat mission. The adjutant repeated the order loudly after recording it.

"Yes! Coordinates: x 78123, y45678, German artillery position! Rapid fire, two rounds! Fire!"

After the Germans launched an artillery bombardment for nearly half an hour, the Allied forces finally began to counterattack with artillery fire. At this time, the sky was gradually getting brighter. We could no longer see the streaks of fire caused by the artillery shells tearing the air.

But the huge roar of the artillery fire and the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air tell you: this is a battlefield. Under the morning sun, they are risking their lives in a life-threatening fight.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..." A large number of retaliatory artillery fire from the Allied forces fell on the German artillery position, and suddenly the people in the artillery position were on their backs.

During the third round of artillery bombardment, the German army had begun to move artillery positions one after another. But they did not expect that the Allied counterattack would come so quickly.

Some of the German artillery units that had no time to evacuate were immediately overturned by Allied artillery fire.

"Their artillery has been exposed! Calculate the position and fight back immediately! Hurry!" Bock had already anticipated this situation. The German staff began to calculate the position of the Allied artillery as soon as the Allied artillery was exposed.

Then, crazy artillery fire broke out.

The Allies fired two rounds of retaliatory artillery fire and were about to move their artillery positions. But unfortunately, the Germans seized this opportunity to bombard their exposed positions!

"Boom, boom, boom..." This was the first largest artillery battle between the two sides since the war in Moscow. The total number of Allied artillery inside Moscow and the German artillery outside Moscow exceeded 20,000.

The artillery units on both sides are fighting desperately, hoping to completely destroy the other side before the other side completely defeats them.

This crazy bombardment lasted for nearly an hour, and more than 3,000 Allied artillery pieces were completely destroyed. Under this situation, the Allied forces were forced to move the remaining artillery pieces for funeral arrangements.

In terms of current weapons and equipment, the Allied forces guarding Moscow possess 15,501 artillery pieces, 1,463 tanks, and a total of 1,115 fighter bombers, reconnaissance aircraft, etc.

The weapons and equipment possessed by the German army at this time included 10,290 artillery pieces, 675 tanks, 1,216 fighter jets, bombers and reconnaissance aircraft.

Although the Allies have an advantage in terms of the number of artillery, the Germans have four large-caliber train guns that the Allies have not yet delivered, as well as a large number of mace-type heavy rocket-propelled bombs. These are all owned by the Germans

The biggest advantage.

"Let the 1077th Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment enter the predetermined position immediately. When the German planes come over, I ask them to hold the position! No matter what the cost, the only purpose of their existence is to kill those damn Germans from the sky.

I'll beat him down!!"

The 1077th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Regiment did not originally exist. It was a temporary anti-aircraft artillery unit specially formed by the Soviet Army to deal with the German air superiority.

Since a large number of adult men were committed to active infantry assault units, these defensive units could only be selected from young Soviet female volunteers who had not been trained to shoot ground targets.

At first, Tukhachevsky, who gave the order, was unwilling to send out this unit. But the current battle situation no longer allowed him to make a choice. Therefore, the Soviet Marshal gritted his teeth and sent out all the anti-aircraft artillery regiment.

Regardless of whether it works or not, at least they are the best cannon fodder now. They are not required to shoot down many German fighter planes. But they are required to hold their position and continuously attack the German air force.

Tukhachevsky's reason for doing this is simple: to deter the German bomber force from easily dropping bombs on Moscow.

As long as most of the fortifications in the city of Moscow remain intact, the Allies have the possibility to save the entire Moscow. Otherwise, once all the fortifications are destroyed, the Allies can only enter the stage of exchanging lives for lives.

"Buzz buzz..." At this time, there was a roar in the sky. Tukhachevsky sighed, the Germans were finally here.

"Let our air force not dispatch for the time being. All fighter planes are warmed up and waiting for orders!" Tukhachevsky ordered and then lowered his head and continued to study the map.

At this time, the female soldiers of the 1077th Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment were already pushing anti-aircraft guns one by one into the firing position under the command of their respective commanders.

After the German fighter planes approached Moscow's airspace, the roar of these anti-aircraft guns suddenly rang out!

"Boom boom..." In the roar of the anti-aircraft guns, countless shells flew into the sky and formed groups of barrages. The anti-aircraft shells exploded in the sky, and the splashing shell fragments suddenly covered Moscow.

sky.

German fighter planes also discovered these anti-aircraft artillery units in the city. Under this threat, the German army had to choose to raise its fighter planes in an attempt to avoid the Allied anti-aircraft artillery bombardment.

The bomber units that had already flown over Moscow quickly dropped the mace bombs they carried and then quickly evacuated.

"Boom, boom, boom...boom! Boom..." Unfortunately, although these German bombers discovered the problem, they still did not move quickly enough. And the Soviet army had too many anti-aircraft guns.

Under this situation, eight of the first batch of German bombers that came to bomb more than twenty aircraft were shot down. The remaining ones dropped their bombs and quickly evacuated the battlefield.

At this time, the German troops did not try to forcefully break through the Soviet anti-aircraft barrage, but circled and conducted reconnaissance before gradually withdrawing from Moscow's airspace.

"Report! Comrade Tukhachevsky, we received news from the front line that the German planes have evacuated!" the adjutant said to Tukhachevsky excitedly: "Our combat plan has achieved results."

"Well, now let them all evacuate their positions and hide! At the same time, order the fighter units to take off immediately. I believe it won't be long before the Germans come to attack again..."

Tukhachevsky said to the adjutant without raising his head: "Let the ground troops prepare to enter the position!"

"Yes!!" the adjutant responded loudly, then walked out of the headquarters and began to issue orders to the outside world.

At this time, Eisenhower and Montgomery also entered the headquarters. Tukhachevsky's command just now was a collaboration between them, and the anti-aircraft artillery unit was also organized by the Soviet army itself.

To be honest, in Eisenhower's opinion, the level of the 1077th Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment organized by the Soviet Army was really poor. It used hundreds of anti-aircraft guns and only shot down eight German bombers.

This level really makes people speechless. But Eisenhower also knew that he could not force this temporarily formed anti-aircraft artillery regiment without any training or combat experience to achieve the kill rate of ordinary troops.

"You came just in time. If our estimate is correct, the German army will begin to break through Moscow City after the next wave of attacks."

Tukhachevsky raised his head, looked at Eisenhower and Montgomery and said: "The ground troops should be ready to enter the position at any time. I believe that their ground troops will launch an attack soon..."

After a pause, Tukhachevsky picked up the report just handed over by the adjutant and said angrily: "Where did these damn Germans get these bombs?! The power was so great that the area that was hit was even

The basement was destroyed. At least one company of troops was buried in the cave..."

"This is not the first time that the Germans have used this kind of bomb. They had used this kind of bomb in the war against Britain." Eisenhower said with a wry smile: "In fact, our allies, the Wehrmacht, should also have this kind of bomb.

"

"Oh?! What's going on?! Did the Chinese give this technology to the Germans?!" Tukhachevsky frowned and asked. Montgomery shook his head.

"This is unlikely. I estimate that this kind of bomb was originally jointly developed by China and Germany. After all, they had a long honeymoon period in their early years. At that time, Germany imported a large amount of raw materials from China, including soybeans, iron

Ore, coking coal, silk...etc."

Montgomery paused and said: "According to our guess, this kind of bomb should have been jointly developed by China and Germany at that time. After all, we are well aware of China's research and development capabilities. They have not independently developed this kind of bomb so far.

The ability..."

Eisenhower smiled incredulously. This general of the British Empire probably still thought about the situation in China at the beginning of the 19th century?!

You know, although China still has many shortcomings compared to the technology of Britain and the United States, it can be regarded as an industrial power in the region where Yahoo operates.

After so many years of development, and taking advantage of the economic crisis in Europe and the United States, they attracted a large number of engineers and technicians from Europe and the United States. Taking advantage of this crisis, they greatly improved their industrial technology level.

Of course, Europe and the United States are not just idle Lei Feng who give benefits to China for no reason. They also turned a blind eye to this kind of thing after they obtained a lot of benefits from their cooperation with the tiger.

As long as the foundation of European and American countries is not dug up, it is okay for some skilled workers to go to China. Moreover, China has not expressed this.

China has given the prime minister and president of the United States and the United Kingdom a large number of recruitment quotas, allowing them to use these quotas in exchange for vote support.

At the same time, the wages of the recruited workers will also be fully handed over to the governments of the countries where they belong. It can be said that Tu Menghu is constantly increasing its technical strength in a way that is acceptable to Europe and the United States during the economic crisis.

The iron ore, petroleum, coal mining, smelting, and other industries jointly developed with the United Kingdom and the United States have benefited the United Kingdom and the United States a lot. At the same time, it has also solved the employment problem of a large number of workers.

In return, the United Kingdom and the United States provided a large number of loans to the governments of the three northeastern provinces at that time before the war began. Two-thirds of these loans were low-interest loans, and the rest were interest-free loans.

Of course, the United States is not a fool to directly give cash to China. Most of what they give is materials or weapons and ammunition.

"Boom! Boom!" Over Moscow, Allied and German fighter planes were engaged in a massacre. From time to time, Allied or German fighter planes were shot down in the air...

At this time, the two sides were fighting in the sky over Moscow. After the German fighter planes entered Moscow's airspace, they immediately encountered the Allied fighter planes.

This time, there were no bomber units. They were all fighter units. When these fighter planes saw the Allied fighter planes, they killed them without hesitation.

The German pilots are very smart. They know that even if the Allies have placed a lot of anti-aircraft guns below, as long as the fighters of both sides are entangled, the anti-aircraft guns below will be afraid to shoot easily.
To be continued...
